The Southern Women I'm the Lead,

1t is really q matter of Indifference
whether or not society leader is in
dlgenous to the soil, or whether she is
imported from some foreign cline, but
usually there are certain peculiarities of
either complexion, dress or manners that
prevent stranger from mingling in
New York society for any length Of time
without beraying her foreign eXtrac-
ton. New York society, that is the
ultra-fashionablc, may be very exclusive,
but it is, nevertheless, composed of
heterogeneous parts. In addition to the
foreigners who are admitted into it's
charmed circle, each section of this
country contributes its quota of mem
bcrs, and the distinctive characteristics
OF each one are as noticeable to n close
observer as the foreign and conceited
ways of the British nobility, or the
mlncing daintincss Of the ovcr-foppish
Frenchmun. We have Wcstcrncrs and
Southerners who are easily distinguished
from the genuine G0thamites, although
they have been so closely connected with
New York society in its doings for years
past they are generally recognized
throughout the country rs genuine New
Workers.
The Southern women are counted
among the most beautiful and cultivated
and their soft voices and gentle manners
have won for them much praise, especial
ly this winter, during which they have
been prominently to the front as enter
tertainers. Everyone who meets Mrs.
Algcmon S. Sullivan is charmed with
her grace of manner and beauty, al
though few know that she is Southerner.
Mrs. Brockhoist Cutting is one of the
most popular of matrons, and is Vir-
ginian by birth and rearing. Mrs. Bur-
ton Harrison, us is well known comes
from the same State. She was Il Miss
Cary, and is connected with the Fair
faxes and Randolphs. She represents
the literary women Of the South. Mrs.
Edward Lees Coiley, whose pretty
daughter Lucy is just now a very promi-
nent figure in socicty--as the author of
a play-also halls from tho Old Domin-
ion, and Mrs. Willard Ward, of Madi-
son occasionally gives such delightful
receptions, is the daughter of the late
Judge Erskinc, Of Alabama. At her
house the representatives of Southern
families are usually met. Miss Bsland,
friend of Miss Ward, dates back her
family traditions to the last Spanish
Governor of Louisiana. York Let

This time Bowers's new-made enemy
was Of another stamp of man. He knew
OF the Hamrick matter, but few months
ago settled. SO last October he went to
the county seat and there gave to the
solicitor OF grand juryman the infor-
nation that Bowers was violating the
statute by unlawfully living with a wo-
man, and that the woman had also vio-
lated the law in committing bigamy.
Now horo was Il situation. Bowers
and his vito was arrested, and Senator
Elias, lawyer Of rcpute in all that re-
glon, was sought to defend them. The
husband, who had given bond for his
appearance at court, rode many miles
after "Lawyer Elias" and told him the
whole story.
The lawyer, man of culture, was
astonlshcd at the story thus unrollcd
before his eyes Court met and the
lawyer used all his cloquence and per-
suaslvcness. He told the whole story
OF the deserted wife, the long vigil of
love, the giving up Of the first husband
Tor dead, the rcmarriage, the return of
the long lost husband, the verbal agree
mcnt that he should return to the far
northwest and all remain as it was.
The narrative had its effect upon the
rudest mind; but the law had technical
~, unknowingly been violated; it must
be technically enforced. So there was
technical verdict of guilty, with a recon-
mcndatlon to the mercy of the court if
the parties lived separate and apart.
This was Lawyer Elias's chance, his
opportunity; he seized it. He told Bow
ers that he and his wife had best go out
OF that neighborhood, and that they
might live together; that the verdict was
only technical, and the Judgment mere
form, and that in the future the law
would not again disturb them.
They acted on the suggestion, re-
moved to Macon county, and now live
there at peace with all the world. Only
few weeks ago the son was married,
and in the spring the girl will become a
bride
So Senator Elias told the story, true
story i'll all particulars, which has in it
all the clements Of the fanciful and the
unreal, and is yet just as true rs the fact,
known Of all men, that the great peaks
of the Blue Ridge raise themselves sky
ward III Western North Carolina.

y Pathetic Incident ut Sea.

The brief story of the relief of the
British ship Baron Blantyre by the
steamship Baltimore condenses enough
OF incident to furnish Clark Russell or
some other skillful writer of sea stories
the basis for thrilling narrative. What
could be more narrowing than for starry
ing men to see, as the crew of the
Blantyre did, their signal of distress un-
needed by passing vessel except so far
as to drop provisions overheard, which
the tamlshing men were too weak and
feeble TO secure, being compelled to SEQ
them floating away on tho waves beyond
oil hope of reach? In the height of
their distress the Baltimore hove in
sight on her way from Liverpool to this
city, and humanely responding with all
possible speed to tho appeal for assist
al ce, sent over the waves of an angry
sea boat to their succor. But for the
timely arrival of the steamship the crew
OF the Blantyro would probably have
persisted, Their condition being aeora-
waited by the knowledge that they had
provisions on board which they were I'm
able to eat because, being saIted, they
would only have increased the torment
of their thirst. The plight from which
they were so fortunately rescued Just in
time exceeds in refinement of torture
the most ingenious conception of the
novelist, and the simple story of their
rescue is full of pathos Baltimore Sun.

Woman sunrnge In MyomIns

One OF tho prctticst and most prominent
members of fashionable society here this
winter is lady who has the proud distict
ION OF having voted for her husband when
nc ran for Congress- The lady in question
is Mrs. Joseph Carey, wife of the delegate
from Wyoming Territory Mrs. Carey,
while IN no sense Il strong minded" woman
is I'm ardent believer in female suffrage.
She has seen the practical working of the
system in Wyoming, and pronounces as
ABSURD the common argument that the
right OF suffrage unscXes II woman.
Al an evening party recently where Mrs.
Carey was giving uttcrancc to these senti-
mcntS, Senator Wade Hampton blandly in
tcrlectcd the rcmark:- .,.
But, OF course, you always vote as your
husband instructS you?"
Mrs Carcy's black eyes snapped merrily
as she replcd:-
Indeed we do not The first time NV
nus husband ran fol office voted againt him
and my mother supported him. The next
time we both opposed him. In each case
we thought the other man would make the
better officer. | mention this to show YOU
that in our family, at least, the women use
Ilclr right of suffrage about as they please.
Moreover, the comforting of this power
upon women has good moral effect, es-
pecally upon those whose husbands are
politicians. You may believe that where
every woman is permitted to vote the wives
OF politicians are very chary about unduly
crluClSlng the other women TO do so
means the creation of enemies for your
husband, who can work him q great injury

upon the tongue; assure you."-W Wdsh-

Governor Tilden's Sister,

The sister of the late Governor Tilden.
OF New York, Mrs. Mary p. Pelton, died
ON Saturday, without ever receiving q cent
OF her brothers bCqucst. Mrs. Pelton was
1Sycars of age, and had been enjoying fairly
good health until within the last ten days.
n special request to the executors to hurry
up the execution of the trust, so that she
might enjoy it during her life time, was
made some time ago and met with no re-
Sponsc. MIR. Andrew Green called upon
Mrs Pelton short time ago and offered to
loan her some money to meet any pressing
necessities, but Mrs. Pclton replied that she
did not care to borrow any money, but
would like to have what her brother had
lett her MIR. Samuel J. Tildcn, Jr,,
called upon the executors a short time ago
ana urged them to arrange the trusts of his
AUNT Mary, Aunt Lucy and his mother, all
of whom were old and somewhat feeble, i'm
order that the might enjoy their brothers
requests during their life time. He said:
Never mind about the younger folks; we
can shift for ourselves" The old ladies were
very much disappointed to think they have
nGcn treated so shabbily by the executors.
The death of Mrs. Pclton may possibly bring
them 70 their senses. The friends of the
family say the heirs have been treated bv
the executors more rs mendcants than az
sisters, niecCS and relatives of the dead
statesman and millionaire.

woman not unaccustomed to blunder-
ing, however. She made o. call on the
newly-made wife of tho Secretary of the
Interior. The servant ushered her into
a salon, where stately person. in sombre
ralment and of austere mien received
her. After the usual exchange of social
amenities the visitor glanced around ex-
pectantly, as if looking for some one:
then turning to the hostess, she said:

Jones, of EIorida.

The Florida car turned the cOnversa-
tion of the home bound Congressman to
Jones, of FlOrida--JOncs inamoratus-
who kept his word and did not come
back to Washington to serve ont his
Congressional term. "Poor Jones, +"
said Call, his former colleague, the other
day, che will not como back his politi-
cnl race is rum" And hardly had the
little marble hammer fallen in the Sen
ate when the Governor of Florida ap-
pointed his successor. The new Senator
may be a very able man, but he will not
at first attract the attention which Mr..
Jones did in the early days Of his Sena-
torial career. An Irish ship carpenter,
working at the bench by the side Of
slaves, he gained an education by the
light Of pine knots at night, and rose to
eminence; WAS elected to the United
States Senate, where he was, in fact, one
of the ablest of constitutional debatera.
Suddenly, without notice to those the
nearest him, the light of his public life
seems to have gone out. For months
Senators have received from Detroit
newspapers with incoherent sentences
written upon the margin-the purport
OF which has been that Jones has be-
lleved himself to be the victim of q con-
splracy. These newspapers, with other
circumstances, have caused many Soma
tors to believe that, like Dean Swift,

Before Governor Gordon left for New

issue warrant for the arrest Of NJ. T.
Close, former citizen of Indiana, and
declined ON the ground that it was an
effort to llso the process Of the law to

Indiana came for Close. 1t was not
regularly presented, but the counsel for
the prosecution were notified that the
